I'd put this on an electronic SPR form if DEC had one. I discovered that "cc -V" didn't work on Ultrix 4.1: # cc -V cc (cc) Mips Computer Systems 2.0 cc: Error: Can't find or exec: /usr/bin/what : No such file or directory [...a dozen lines like the above...] So I went looking for "what" and found two of them: /usr/etc/subsets/UDTSCCS410.inv:0 23664 47281 0 10 100755 8/28/90 410 f ./usr/bin/what none UDTSCCS410 /usr/etc/subsets/UDXBASE410.inv:0 24576 40092 0 0 100755 7/19/90 410 f ./usr/ucb/what none UDXBASE410 Someone must have forgot to make the subset that contains CC depend on the subset that contains SCCS. Or maybe CC needs to know how to search $PATH and find /usr/ucb/what. Or maybe it should just use /usr/ucb/what, since that's in the base subset. Or whatever. In any case, both of these binaries produce almost identical output and we really don't need two of them, so I'm linking /usr/bin/what to /usr/ucb/what. (We don't use SCCS.) Eh, what! -- -IAN! (Ian!
